HISTOBYATA GLANCE
Looking back at the senior sneak day of the Class of 1931
11 June 3, 1931, all 72
0 members of the high
school senior class
graduated in a ceremony
held in the Graham The-
ater. Mr. Eugene A. Bishop,
professor of education at the
University of Washington,
gave an address on “What
Does Commencement Com—
mence?” Senior Marvin
Pearcy gave the salutato-
rian address, and Annie
Young concluded the program with
her valedictorian speech.
About two weeks earlier, the se-
nior class had “sneaked” away from
school for a traditional day of pre-
graduation fun. In its final issue of
the year, the school newspaper (The
Saghalie) carried a story about the
“sneak.”
Promptly at 4:45 Tuesday morn-
ing, May 19, the senior class set out
for a day at the ocean beaches. After
a most eventful trip, comprising
several “flats,” low gas worries, and
various and sundry other features,
they arrived at Tokeland, where
all the cars drove a long run down
the smooth sand. Then they all pro—
ceeded to Westport, their original
destination.
Tennis nets were erected, vol-
leyballs and beach balls made their
appearance, and the cause of the se-
niors’ stiffness began-

under the direction of Mr.
Barto, chief cook and bottle
washer. Mr. Barto was a
great factor in helping the
seniors have a good time
a and they wish to thank him.
[Notez Pete Barto was the
high school football and bas-
ketball coach.]
In the afternoon, ev-
erybody went down to the
beach and took on a few
sun-burned noses, legs, and
backs. The lighthouse and fog-warn-
. ing station were thoroughly inspect-
ed and approved of. The lighthouse,
which is 102 feet high, was climbed
by most of the students. The light is
a beautiful thing, constructed of hun-
dreds of oblong glass prisms. From
the tower of the lighthouse one could
see the ships out in the ocean wait-
ing to go over the bar to Aberdeen.
Surf bathing, tennis, soccer, base?
ball and eating were the main diver-
sions of the day. When the students
returned from the beach, a few of the
boys tried to start a baseball game,
but there were too many umpires
and not enough Jim Addlemans.
Jim couldn’t kill all the umpires as
he Wished to do, so finally the game
broke up quietly.
Alice Edgely and Eleanor Dickin-
son had better luck and after a “bit-
ter” contest Captain Edgely’s team
won 10-5. Perhaps the reason was
that Mr. Barto, Babe Ruth II, was on,
